A multi-stage assembling robot with a progressive feeding device is described. The invention aims to provide a robot for a progressive multi-stage press machine using a die set and having a progressive pick-and- place device. This allows the robot to be simplified in construction, reduced in size, and manufactured at a low cost.
The multi-stage robot has at least three sets of upper and lower dies mounted on the upper movable plate and base plate. A work pick-and-place device is mounted on the lower movable plate and can progressively transfer parts on the lower dies, while at least three part pick-and-place devices are radially mounted on the base plate so as to feed parts one by one to a corresponding lower die. Piston rods raise and lower the upper and lower moveable plates. Each pick-and-place device comprises three sets of opposite grasping fingers.
